CEI upgrades Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic facility

Systems integrator Communications Engineering (CEI) has upgraded and expanded the studio and news facilities for Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic in Bethesda, MD, to allow it to produce and distribute HD content.

The project, which began in May, had to be completed in time for the college and professional football season (while the existing facilities were still on-air daily). It included upgrades to the production control room and studio, two additional master control rooms, equipment core area, transmission system and additional edit suites.
